Nov 1, 2011 at 16:41 comment added PhotonicCrystal Fairly good answer is given by G. Emmanuele in: G. Emmanuele, On complemented copies of c0 in spaces of operators II. Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin. 35 (1994), 259-261
Oct 31, 2011 at 12:14 comment added Philip Brooker PhotonicCrystal, it would seem to not be of codimension 1, however as a left-ideal it should be maximal in $\mathcal{B}(X)$.
Oct 31, 2011 at 10:25 comment added PhotonicCrystal Isn't $A$ of codimension 1 in $\mathcal{B}(X)$?
Oct 31, 2011 at 0:50 comment added Philip Brooker Neat answer. On a tangential point, for $X$ a Hilbert space, reflexive complemented subspaces of $\mathcal{B}(X)$ are isomorphic to Hilbert space(s); I think this was first observed in published form in the early 1990s by Pisier.
Oct 31, 2011 at 0:21 comment added Robert Israel More generally, any Banach space $X$ is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of ${\cal B}(X)$. Namely for any $x_0 \in X$ and $\phi_0 \in X^*$ with $\phi_0(x_0) = 1$, ${\cal B}(X) = A \oplus B$ where $A = \{T: T(x_0) = 0\}$ and $B = \{x \otimes \phi_0: x \in X\}$.
